Deep, dark, and clear brown pour, appears opaque black in the glass; dense, tan head, semi-creamy texture, one-finger thick. Heady nose of rich chocolate, cocoa powder, robust and earthy spiciness. Incredible flavors of milk chocolate, rye spiciness, and whiskey; suggestions of licorice and anise. Heavy mouthfeel, dense and spongy; generous overall boozy warmth.
Holy moly! This is one fantastic beer. If I would have known about the beauty of this dark beast, I would have scored a number of other bottles, but, alas! The brewery is gone. Gone but not forgotten. The balance and complexity are truly amazing, definitely a heavy hitter, but with finesse and singularity of presence.
